turtlepace at work

yesterday was still fine. i feel like im back in elementary. we had lessons on verb tenses and the articles a, an, and the. we started tackling about pronunciation too. we produced the different sounds of A and I. i think that the instructor made a few mistakes...anyway it's all fine with me.

my classmates are nice. we get into lively chats with each other. i have this one classmate, a chemical engineering graduate, who speaks like a british! it sounds funny at times though. and looks funny too the way his lower jaw moves forward whenever he says something in the british way. hehehe

our class is filled with people from varied fields. i mentioned the chemist already. we have an engineer who came back from taiwan and is now hoping to work at convergys. we have other engineering graduates too, most of the men are. one of the guys is an hrm graduate. we have, i think 2 undergraduates who stopped school to work but will be back soon after they save enough money. we have a pharmacist. a single mom. an education graduate with a masters in education major in biology. and last but not least, an accounting graduate ahem. hehe there are 14 of us in the class. i believe that what brought all of us together must be the attractive compensation package of convergys. hehe. i think that's it. for me, that's part of it but why i chose to work at convergys is also because i am looking for a job that won't stress me out so much (while speaking english) so i can have time and the energy to study.

im looking forward to another learning session with my classmates and our very round (literally) instructor. i just wish we go back to our 6am-2pm schedule. my eyes get very red at night! if my classmates would notice that, they might think im a vampire or an addict or whatever. hehe
